Product Line Details
The Bilstein B6 4600 series is positioned as an OE replacement upgrade for stock-height trucks and SUVs. Each shock is tuned for a specific application, which helps maintain controlled ride quality, stable handling, and consistent comfort without requiring adjustable settings. For Ram 3500 owners, the B6 4600 line focuses on restoring rear suspension control while preserving factory ride height.
Detailed Description
Bilstein shock absorbers are known for monotube construction, and the B6 4600 uses that layout to keep damping response consistent under load and over repeated bumps. The digressive piston design changes response based on road input, helping the rear suspension stay composed on rough pavement, towing routes, and everyday driving. This part number, 24-302296, is a direct-fit rear shock absorber for 2019-2025 Ram 3500 models without rear air leveling suspension.
This part cross-references Mopar 68379502AC for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive rear bounce after bumps
- Reduced rear-end control on uneven roads
- Worn OE shock performance on stock-height suspension
- Harsh or inconsistent ride response from aging dampers
- Loss of handling stability in rear suspension movement
